City Vs Chelsea (FA Cup) Pre Match thread

[Newman Noggs]

Strange interview with Manuel saying he won't change the way we approach and that Chelsea play the same way all the time. Slightly wrong there Manuel

Unless he meant a game based on a strong defence which has always been the case, at least under Mourinho.

........and Maureen's "mind games" are always 100% successful as Sky etc. and the press never mention them when Chelski lose or get a draw against a lower side.

451 with silva in the hole. This gives him more freedom and makes it harder to mark him. He had no chance vs two defensive midfielders when playing in a 442.

Navas yaya Rodwell Milner
Silva
Dzeko

Got to give Rodwell a chance, no point having him if he doesn't get a game. Think that midfield has the perfect balance and dzeko up front saves negredo for barca. Our bench is looking a lot more healthier with jovetic, Nasri and negredo.

Why should he change? We had a few really good chances to take the lead and ultimately paid for it in the last game, with Garcia back Hazard will find much less space to work in.<br /><br />-- Sat Feb 15, 2014 10:45 am --<br /><br />

If he plays Yaya and Rodwell in the middle we're screwed (Watford style). Forget Rodwell, he'll be one of the first out of the door at the end of the season.

If Garcia plays and Hazard doesn't have as much of an impact as he did in previous game, will people here finally start to cut the guy some slack and see he actually does job, might not be all action like Fernandinho but he's be more useful than MD or a Milner or Rodwell in there

I think Jovetic needs to play again today to get up to speed for the Barca game.

I wouldn't bother risking Nasri today. Let him have a few more days recovery
